Canine mucosal leishmaniasis

Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association, 1996
Four dogs infected with Leishmania had proliferative lesions on the mucosae of the penis, tongue, oral cavity, prepuce, or nose. These mucosal, nodular lesions produced by parasites of the genus Leishmania have not been described previously in the dog.

Endemic Canine Leishmaniasis

Veterinary Pathology, 1980
Leishmaniasis of man is an endemic, sporadic infection in Central and South America, Africa, Southern Europe, Asia and the Orient [8]. The discovery of cutaneous leishmaniasis in a person in south Texas, whose foreign travel extended only to the border states of Mexico, was reported in 1968 [ 1 I].

Canine Leishmaniasis with Amyloidosis

Veterinary Pathology, 1976
Visceral leishmaniasis was diagnosed in a 2-year-old male Great Dane imported from Greece. The clinical signs included anemia, diarrhea, weight loss, proteinuria, and hyperglobulinemia with increases in α 2 - and γ-regions.

Canine Leishmaniasis

2004
Canine leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania infantum (syn. L. chagasi, in America) and is transmitted by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies. Infected dogs constitute the main domestic reservoir of the parasite and play a key role in transmission to humans, in which the parasite produces visceral leishmaniasis. The increasing awareness that control of

Epidermal immunocompetence in canine leishmaniasis

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1997
The antigen-presenting cell function of the epidermis was investigated immunocytochemically in 16 dogs with different types of skin lesions induced by Leishmania infection. The degree of epidermal immunocompetence was evaluated according to the presence of Langerhans cells (LC) and keratinocytes expressing class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC

Immunopathology of the uveitis in canine leishmaniasis

Parasite Immunology, 1996
Particular immunopathological features and their effects on the vascular permeability of different ocular structures were analysed in two dogs naturally infected by Leishmania infantum. The existence of specific anti‐Leishmania immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the aqueous humour was confirmed by the ELISA technique.

Treatment of canine cutaneous leishmaniasis

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 1974
Fifteen cases of canine cutaneous leishmaniasis were diagnosed. Treatment regimes included injections of pentasodium antimony, methylglucamine and cycloguanil pamoate. The results were only partially successful. Antimony toxicity, abscessation, and temporary improvement in skin lesions were observed. Euthanasia was often necessary. It is concluded that

Glomerulonephritis in dogs with canine leishmaniasis

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1988
Kidney specimens, obtained from 11 dogs of diverse species that had contracted spontaneous leishmaniasis, were submitted to a histopathological investigation using a classical preparation of sections embedded in paraffin, semi-thin and ultra-thin sections embedded in plastic, and sections frozen under immunofluorescence.

An experimental model for canine visceral leishmaniasis

Parasite Immunology, 1991
Summary Seven mixed‐breed dogs were challenged with either promastigotes or amastigotes of Leishmania donovani infantum strains recently isolated from naturally infected dogs. Different routes and numbers of parasites were utilized and each dog was monitored for at least 1 year post‐infection.

Venereal transmission of canine visceral leishmaniasis

Veterinary Parasitology, 2009
Leishmania chagasi, the agent of visceral leishmaniasis in dogs in the Americas has a tropism to the male genital system, particularly the epididymis, prepuce, and glans penis, resulting in shedding of Leishmania in the semen. The goal of this study was to verify the possibility of venereal transmission of L. chagasi.
